</table>
</blockquote><p><b>Return value</b></p><blockquote>

</blockquote><p><b>Remarks</b></p><blockquote>

The semaphore count is limited to a signed <a href="../reference/variables.html">32-bit value</a>, so a maximum of 2147483647 
<a href="signalsemaphore.html">SignalSemaphore()</a> calls can be made without being balanced by <a href="waitsemaphore.html">WaitSemaphore()</a> 
calls in between.
